The Grocery List

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with
a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.

She approached the owner of the store in a most humble
manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.

She softly explained that her husband was very ill and
unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.

John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested
that she leave his store at once.

Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will
bring you the money just as soon as I can.'

John told her he could not give her credit, since she did
not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the
conversation between the two The customer walked forward and told the grocer
that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer
said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'

Louise replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O.K.' he said,
'put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I
will give you that amount in groceries.'

Louise hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she
reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on
it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still
bowed.

The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement
when the scales went down and stayed down..

The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the
customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'

The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the
groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he
continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no
more.

The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed
the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.

It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:

'Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your
hands.'

The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and
stood in stunned silence.

Louise thanked him and left the store. The other customer
handed a hundred-dollar bill to the grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny
of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs.'

THE POWER: When you receive this, say a prayer.
That's all you have to do.

Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own
good fortune...

I believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in
faith, you will receive what you need God to do in your and your families'
life..

So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide food for
the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don't have as we do. Amen &
Amen...

Don't break this, please! Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards.

May you always walk with Angels
God Bless!

My prayer for you today:

The eyes

shall laugh forever. Remain in God's love as you send this prayer to everybody
on your list. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in the Lord with all your
heart and He will never fail you because He is Awesome!

TAKE 60 SECONDS and send this on quickly and within hours,
you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each other. Then
sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that
you know He loves. Remain Blessed!!!
